Instructions
(SNAIL Adhesive used to assemble card unless otherwise indicated.)

1. Score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from scoreline to create card base.

2. Use Big Shot and embossing folder to add texture to 5-1/4" x 4" color card stock.  Adhere to front of card.

3. Adhere 5-1/4" x 1-3/4" Basic Black card stock over embossed card stock as shown.  Adhere DSP over Basic Black card stock.

4. Use Big Shot and detailed leaves die to cut leaf spray from Basic Black card stock.  Adhere over DSP with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  (HINT:  To get crisp cuts for detailed dies, use the Precision Base Plate in place of the bottom Standard Cutting Pad.  If your paper is sticking inside the die, place a thin piece of clear vinyl -- I cut pieces of the packaging envelope from the dies and embossing folder -- between the die and the card stock.  The paper practically falls out of the die!)

5. Use Memento Pad to stamp sentiment on Whisper White card stock.  Cut out with Big Shot and label die.  Use brush end of Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to apply ink on edges of label.  Adhere to card as shown with Stampin' Dimensionals.

6. Use Memento Ink to stamp flower image on Whisper White card stock.  Color flowers and leaves with Stampin' Write Markers, leaving centers of flowers white (see Color Key below).  Apply Wink of Stella glitter to center of each flower.  Cut out image with flower die.  Color all blank spaces, including edge outside flower image, with Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.  Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere to front of card overlapping label.  (NOTE:  DO NOT apply dimensionals where the flowers overlap label.)
